Maintenance tips

Synthetic fibers should be brushed weekly with a plastic bristle brush to keep them straight and easily remove leaves and other surface debris.

Depending on the amount of activity that has been carried out on the surface, it will have to be brushed more or less frequently.

If necessary, help the drainage by using a sponge roller, although this is quite unlikely in a porous installation.

The drainage system, network of pipes, manholes and collectors, must be checked and cleaned with due frequency.

Dust can settle on the surface of the lawn, so it is advisable to wash it with a hose for a few minutes. In addition, irrigation will help maintain an ideal temperature over the entire surface. This will keep the grass always fresh, bright and with all its color.

Synthetic flooring freezes at temperatures below -5ºC. It is advisable not to use the surface in these conditions. If its use is unavoidable, vaporized dry salt can be applied. The application dose can be approximately 0.15Kg / m2. Under no circumstances should salt stone be applied.

Heavy snowfall should be removed using wooden shovels, avoiding sharp metal or plastic shovels at all costs.

Bacterial build-up is generally not a problem with artificial grass that is cleaned frequently. If you think bacteria are present, you can use our enzymatic cleaner to remove the bacterial spore build-up. In addition, thanks to its triple effect you will sanitize the surface, help to dissipate the static charge and give the surface a smell of freshly cut grass.

If the area is small, such as a place where your pet urinates frequently, you can use our enzymatic cleaner in a spray bottle. If you want to treat the entire lawn, you can use a garden hose attachment to treat larger areas.

The handling and use of chemical cleaners in general must be carried out strictly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In case of doubt or for further clarification, please consult Realturf.

• Artificial grass is attacked by solvents, acids and in general petroleum derivatives, avoid spillage of these products.

• Avoid vehicle traffic over 1,000Kg in weight. Do not use vehicles with spike wheels or chains.
• Do not store materials, such as drums, wood, etc.
• If garbage and mud are allowed in, it will affect the behavior of the artificial grass surface.
